Hi Fishes,
Has anyone here worked at Jade Global? How is the work-life balance / job security/ annual hike/ growth opportunities based on your experience?

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

Daycares have stricter sick policies and shorter hours and nannies appear to be unreliable for actually showing up in recent months. Am I alone in this work travel anxiety?

"On November 8–9, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party led a coalition group in an attempt to overthrow the German government. The plotters hoped to march on Berlin to launch a national revolution.

The police killed more than a dozen of Hitler’s supporters. This attempted coup d'état came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch"
